Inventory management system | Warehouse Management System

A warehouse management system (WMS) is software and processes that allow organisations to control and administer warehouse operations from the time goods or materials enter a warehouse until they move out. Operations in a warehouse include your inventory management system, picking processes and auditing.

Warehouse management systems built by our software company allows access from multiple locations to support warehouse staff in performing the processes required to handle all of the major and many minor warehouse tasks such as receiving, inspection and acceptance, put-away, internal replenishment to picking positions, picking, packing, value added services, order assembly on the shipping dock, documentation, and shipping (loading onto carrier vehicles). A warehouse management system also helps in directing and validating each step, capturing and recording all inventory movement, and status changes to the data file. 

Automatic identification and data capture technologies, such as barcodes continue to be important to supply chain management. This resource on barcode data capture provides best practices on methods of data capture, including the technologies used to collect information on products, manage, track inventory, assets and provide insight into and improve logistics.
